Patent GB-0017225-D0 (GB)
Title: Container
IPC: B65D25/28
Filed: 2000-07-14
Abstract: A container comprises a body portion, a lid portion and, mounted on one of the body portion and the lid portion, a locking member. The locking member is movable from an unlocking position to a locking position in which it engages the other of the body portion and the lid portion to hold the lid in engagement with the body portion. The container is provided with a sealing means including a sealing member which extends between the locking member and other of the body portion and the lid portion when the locking member is in its locking position. Movement of the locking member from the locking to the unlocking position is only possible if the sealing member is rendered ineffective for further sealing use.
Patent GB-0027922-D0 (GB)
Title: Electronic payment and associated systems
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 2000-11-15
Abstract: By linking together mobile telephony systems having small message service capacity and payment clearance systems such as those operated by banks and credit card companies, substantial facilitation of electronic payments may be achieved. Existing security systems designed to protect the mobile telephony system, for example SIM cards and optional encryption provide a base level of transaction security which may be enhanced by suitable programming to require the use of a PIN to validate a transaction. By linking such systems with e.g. ATMs, the usefulness of a mobile telephone, where each assigned telephone number essentially functions as a player identity number (or, in certain enhancements, as an account number), substantial transaction economies can be achieved without compromising security, with excellent audit trail features and with automatically generated confirmations and acknowledgements.

Title: Data queues
IPC: H04L49/901
Filed: 2000-12-29
Abstract: A data queue system comprises plural memory blocks defined in memory and a data queue, which comprises a number of memory blocks each including a link to the following block in the data queue. A queue descriptor is stored in memory. It comprises information identifying the following: the final block in the queue, the memory location where the most recent read commit occurred, and an offset from a predetermined location in that memory block, the memory location where the most recent write commit occurred, and an offset from a predetermined location in that memory block, the size of the memory blocks, the memory location where the most recent write occurred, the number of unused blocks associated with the data queue, the number of memory blocks associated with the data queue which contain data to be read, the type of data queue, the memory location where the most recent read occurred, and the number of memory blocks which have been read since the most recent read commit. A method of managing data stored in a queue in memory comprises reading data from a head of the queue, updating the position of a latest read pointer to a location corresponding to the end of the data, transferring the data to a destination, and updating the position of a committed read pointer to a location corresponding to the end of the data upon receiving confirmation that the data transfer was successful. When there is insufficient data in the queue to meet a continuous-flow demand, the most recently read data is re-read.

Title: Inactivity monitoring for different traffic of service classifications
IPC: H04W52/02
Filed: 2007-04-17
Abstract: Different types of traffic requiring different inactivity timer settings are assigned to different bearers or to different QoS classes. Different inactivity timer settings are established for different traffic types. Individual bearers or individual QoS classes are linked to a corresponding inactivity timer profile. The link may be accomplished in a number of ways. For example, an additional QoS parameter may be employed in a 3GPP QoS profile, or a new QoS class identifier may be mapped to an inactivity timer setting. Different inactivity timer settings allows both UE battery power conservation to be prioritized for some traffic and end-user experience (quick subsequent response times) to be prioritized for other traffic.
